Got lines in the water around 8:00 and fished until 3:00 AM. Phishinphan fished till midnight. Fishing was excellent, best night I’ve had in a long while. Ended up with 5 keepers and 20 shorts. Keepers ranged from 21" to 26". Fish were suspended 21’ to 35’ down all over the deep water in the lower lake. We each kept one to eat and let the rest go. Wind kicked up around 2AM and shut the fish down. Fish hit freelines, planers and down lines set at 20’ +/-.
what speed were you trolling at? congrats on the good night.

Coolbreeze, I find the fish now you want to go. Where were you when I was struggling. Phishinphag and I are going out again this thursday, you are welcome to come aboard.
Reelfin, Glad I could help. How many did you get, any keepers?
Fished from 630 to 1000 with live and cut. From dam to other various points, even to Susie/flotilla. Had 3 keepers from 22-28. Had 4 others i brought in and then several baittakers and bait killers. Then trolled the (**() with topwater plug and a 15-20ft deep plug and had 2 small ones. Put a smile on my face cause i guess i was doing something right.
Looking at the upcoming weather this week , think the temp drop and incoming bad weather will scatter things?

Oh did see one thing that pissed me off. 2 young guys in a skeeter boat by the towers were fishing live. One of them caught a small stripper, and my mate and I witnessed him slamming it on the water surface as hard as he could. Not sure if it was already injured or what. I confronted him and at first was taken back but then smarted off to me. Took every bit of control not to take my boat and swamp his. whether it was dead or hurt, No sense.

The front will shut them down for a day or two. Not much will change
look turd! i have asked you at least 10 times to go with me but you always used some lame excuse such as “i have twin babies and have to stay home” or “i have to wait until my wife gets back”. anyway; do not;i repeat; do not lay the blame on me and yes; now that you have found a few fish i would actually like to catch one or so. it would be different than what i have experienced fishing with you the last couple of time. LOL LOL
Watch out coolbreeze, he might use you as cut bait

His blood alcohol content is too high, it would kill the fish
lol thats funny. i also have a trip planned for thursday evening. tom how many extra dz can your tank hold just in case i can’t get off before 7.
hold on a minute. tom; i represent that statement. LOL no not really. the shame about the quick trip to the everglades besides the fish just not being there is that we probably did not drink a 12 pack. drove all night. fished in the morning and then drove all night again. will be a (**() long time before i go back there. still; all in all a good time with my son and his buddy.
